Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a pneumatic tire, in particular to a method for molding an inner liner, and to a method for manufacturing a pneumatic tire including the step of molding a green tire by manufacturing a laminate of an inner liner and an unvulcanized rubber sheet such as a carcass ply.
  • weight saving of tires has been pursued because of strong social demands for fuel efficiency of automobiles.
  • weight saving has also been required for an inner liner serving as an air shutoff layer, which is disposed inside a tire and is required to reduce leakage of air from the inside to the outside of a pneumatic tire.
  • rubber formulation mainly composed of butyl rubber which contains, for example, 70 to 100% by mass of butyl rubber and 30 to 0% by mass of natural rubber is used to improve air permeation resistance of the tire.
  • the rubber formulation mainly composed of butyl rubber contains, in addition to butylene, about 1% by mass of isoprene, which allows intermolecular co-crosslinking with an adjacent rubber layer along with sulfur, a vulcanization accelerator, and zinc white.
  • the butyl-based rubber having general formulation is required to have a thickness of about 0.6 to 1.0 mm for tires for passenger cars, and a thickness of about 1.0 to 2.0 mm for tires for trucks and buses.
  • an inner liner film P 2 is bonded to an unvulcanized inner liner rubber P 1 beforehand on a conveyer, with positions of both end edges in a longitudinal direction being aligned, to produce a laminate, the laminate is wound on a band over its entire circumference with inner liner film P 2 of the laminate being disposed on an inner surface side, both end portions of the laminate are overlapped with each other at one location on the circumference to form a joint PJ, and thereafter a stitching roller is used to press joint PJ of the laminate and remove air.
  • joint PJ formed on the circumference of drum 5 A inevitably has a large thickness when the both end portions of the laminate are overlapped and joined on the drum.
  • the stitching roller is applied over joint PJ, air may remain at joint PJ, and if the remaining air expands by vulcanization molding of the green tire, joint PJ of laminate P may peel off.
  • thermoplastic elastomer for an inner liner with the intention to achieve weight saving of a pneumatic tire.
  • the material which is thinner and has a higher air permeation resistance than an inner liner made of butyl-based rubber, is inferior to the inner liner made of butyl-based rubber in vulcanization adhesive strength with insulation rubber and carcass ply rubber adjacent to the inner liner.
  • the joint of the inner liner may peel off during driving, which may cause a reduction in the internal pressure of the tire, and burst of the tire. Further, since the joint has a structure in which another member is exposed inside, an air leakage path may be formed, and a reduction in the internal pressure of the tire is likely to be caused.
  • Patent Literature 1 Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2009-208444 discloses a technique of molding an unvulcanized tire by bonding an inner liner film and an unvulcanized rubber sheet with both ends in an extending direction being displaced from each other, and winding the tacky body on a drum.
  • the present invention is directed to a method for molding a tire by winding a laminate of an inner liner and an unvulcanized rubber sheet such as a carcass ply on a molding drum, the inner liner and the unvulcanized rubber sheet being laminated beforehand and wound on the drum. On that occasion, the inner liner and the unvulcanized rubber sheet are bonded with being displaced from each other in a width direction to manufacture the laminate.
  • one object of the present invention is to enhance uniformity in thickness at a joint on the circumference of the drum, to prevent air from remaining, and also to effectively reduce peeling-off of the joints of the inner liner and the carcass ply.

  • the present invention relates to the method for manufacturing the pneumatic tire wherein, in the assembly step, the inner liner and the unvulcanized rubber sheet have different widths, and both end portions thereof in the width direction are displaced in the width direction so as not to overlap each other, to manufacture the laminate.
  • the second layer is a thermoplastic elastomer containing at least one of a styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer and a styrene-isobutylene block copolymer.
  • the unvulcanized rubber sheet is a carcass ply.
  • the inner liner which is made of the composite layer of the first layer containing an SIBS and the second layer of a thermoplastic elastomer, and the unvulcanized rubber sheet are laminated with being displaced from each other in the width direction, the laminate is wound on the drum over its entire circumference with the inner liner being disposed on the inner surface side, and the end portions of the inner liner and the end portions of the unvulcanized rubber sheet are each joined at the positions apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the drum.
  • a step difference in thickness at a joint of the inner liner and a joint of the unvulcanized rubber sheet can be alleviated.
  • air at these joints can be reliably removed by stitching, and thus peeling-off of the joints due to remaining air can be reduced.
  • the joints apart from each other in the circumferential direction are formed in the molded inner liner and unvulcanized rubber sheet such as a carcass ply, even if the joint of the carcass ply peels off, the peel-off portion is reinforced by the inner liner, and thus damage and breakage of a product tire is alleviated.
